About

Egg Beaters 99% Real Egg Pro is a processed egg product manufactured by ConAgra Foods, designed as a convenient, shelf-stable alternative to whole eggs. The product consists of 99% real eggs (principally egg whites with added yolk coloring and nutrients) combined with gums, lecithin, and other stabilizers to create a pourable liquid. It contains no cholesterol and minimal fat while retaining the protein content of whole eggs. The formulation is designed to pour, measure, and cook similarly to fresh eggs while offering extended shelf life and consistency in portion control.

The product is pasteurized to ensure food safety and undergoes processing to separate and recombine egg components with added ingredients like guar gum, locust bean gum, and beta-carotene (for color). The resulting liquid has a pale yellow color and neutral flavor profile comparable to whole eggs, making it suitable for direct substitution in most egg-based recipes.

Culinary Uses

Egg Beaters 99% Real Egg Pro is used as a direct substitute for whole eggs in scrambled eggs, omelets, baked goods, and custard-based dishes. The product's liquid form makes it particularly convenient for measuring and blending into batters, dressings, and sauces where emulsification is required. It is commonly employed in health-conscious cooking applications where cholesterol reduction or caloric control is a priority. The product performs consistently in both savory and sweet applications, though some bakers note subtle textural differences in cakes and pastries compared to whole eggs, particularly in applications requiring whipping for volume.
